{"product_id":"9780571264483","title":"Tender Taxes","description":"Towards the end of his life the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) wrote nearly four hundred poems in French - notably the two collections published as \u003cb\u003eLes Fen tres (The Windows)\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eLes Roses\u003c\/b\u003e. The emergence of a French Rilke provides the starting point rather than the terminus for Jo Shapcott's new collection, \u003cb\u003eTender Taxes\u003c\/b\u003e, which re-imagines Rilke's brief and fugitive lyrics as English poems. The occasion is Rilke, but these are more than versions: Shapcott's poems address this, arguing with the originals, crossing and re-crossing the frontier between translation and origination. Rilke and Shapcott are brought together in the shared incognito of a foreign language, 'speaking English through a French mouth'.","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182413398256,"sku":"9780571264483","price":13.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571264483_p0.jpg?v=1763717955","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571264483","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
